Our Commentary ​

This 11.12 release for pnpm feels like a solid maintenance update. I'm always happy to see peer dependency resolution getting more robust; that's a common source of frustration. The custom fetcher delegation is a neat addition for advanced use cases. It's good to see the team ironing out these kinks.
